Local C3 deficiency prolonged MHC-II disparate skin allograft survival.
Mice were transplanted with full thickness tail skin from indicated donors, and transplant rejection was monitored. (a) Alloreactive C3+/+ B6 or C3−/− B6 skin grafts were transplanted into MHC-II disparate Bm12 recipient mice. Syngeneic Bm12 donors were used as negative controls (n = 6–15). (b) Bm12 mice skin grafts were transplanted into C3+/+ or C3−/− B6 recipient mice (n = 7–8). Data were obtained from two independent experiments.
